Aitch posted the following link which is the beginning of a centralized pool of all Puppy apps -- if folks choose to cooperate:

The online database was one that I had created and offered for use by the PLUG group.

My experience with the database was that not many people were willing to assist by making/maintaining entries.

I resolved the sound issue by reinstalling Fluppy, this time using a CD. I normally test puppies by downloading and mounting the .iso, and copying the contents to a directory. I have a selection in my menu.lst that points to this directory. This way, I can try out a Puppy without burning a CD.

But there's something different about Fluppy, unlike the other Puppies and Puplets, that won't allow my soundcard to be detected when "installed" without a CD.

into the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local will allow my cardreader to be ready at startup.

The things I have yet to resolve:
1. The behaviour of the lid switch that I outlined here:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70622. The screen shuts off when the lid is closed but won't return when opened, forcing me to a power button shutdown.
To be fair, most newer version exhibited the same behavior. While 4.2.1 and 4.3.1 returned without a hitch, LuPu 5.0,5.2.0,and 5.2.5 all gave me the black screen.
The only newer dog that behaves well is SnowPuppy 020, which automatically goes into "Suspend to RAM" when the lid is closed, and returns quickly by pressing the power button. That is the behavior I'm looking for. What should I copy from Snow Puppy?

2.I like "Suspend to RAM" so much that I made a "sleep" switch icon on my desktop. However, whenever I go to sleep, I need to re-enable the wireless network when I wake. It's all there but it still needs a nudge in Frisbee to get connected.

3. Even in these modern times, I still occasionally need to use the dial-up modem. After messing with ScanModem and using slmodemd, PupDial recognizes the modem but I get no dialtone, unlike the same setup(telephone cable) which works in Windows XP . I think I may have to work with the various checkbox options in PupDial.

Is this a known issue? Is there a way I can recover my iso (took ages to fine tune) and add a boot directory (tried Burn to ISO in Win CDBurner XP then adding the BOOT directory in a subsequent session but suspect some clash in case caused it to fail).

Does anyone notice that puppeee.com site (where fluppy is hosted) seems to be down?

Thanks for pointing that out. I had just visited the site a few days ago because I put fluppy on a laptop and wanted to add some of the software that was available at puppeee.com/files. I must have gotten that done just in time.

Perhaps someone on Puppy already has mirrored it or plans a download site?

Otherwise I may be able to host it for a while.

I am slowly moving away to Squeeze 5X7, and have been monitoring the Next project as well, but have found Fluppy 013 to be an amazingly powerful and stable Puplet._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com
